Matt Damon Used a Female Stunt Performer During 'The Odyssey' - Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Matt Damon is opening up about filming The Odyssey.

The 55-year-old actor, who plays Odysseus, appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, where he spoke about making the Christopher Nolan epic.

During the conversation, he revealed that they used a female stunt double for Matt during the scene where his character’s men battle the Laestrygonians.

“When we did the force perspective stuff with the Laestrygonians… there were these stuntmen who were all seven feet and then they got stunt men who were under five feet,” he began.

“My double was a woman, a female stunt performer who had the greatest arms I’ve ever seen. When she came into the catering tent, it was the first time I met her. I went up and hugged her and thanked her for all the work she put in.”

“There are those shots where you see these giants looming over me [and that’s her]. It was almost 100% my arms in the movie, but you got to give it up where it’s due,” Matt added. Watch him explain above!
